I will be tucking in lots of plants along the edges. I did plant a "few" bulbs around it, maybe,1500 or so, plus this area has been planted for many years. I just don't know how much I disturbed when I dug the stream. I did dig up most things and moved them before hand of what was apparent, but some old bulbs may be lost. Also I needed to change the level of some of the beds, so I did a lot of top dressing, which may have permanently buried some stuff. Spring will tell. Here is a pre stream picture of the area. Most of the stream is to the right of the blue iris, but all that got dug and moved including those iris down to the closest digitalis. So it is going to be a real mystery come spring. Patti
